I do a ping distfiles.gentoo.org
ping: unknown host distfiles.gentoo.org

Than i try and ping its ip and i get
connect: network is unreachable

Pinging www.Google.com:
connect: network is unreachable

contents of resolv.conf
domain localdomain
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

But as i said before I am able to browser the web in Firefox.
